If the race is over someone forgot to tell the people who stood in a line that wrapped itself around an entire Manhattan city block for 2+ hours this evening.

I was one of them. I arrived shortly before 7:00 (the tickets said 7:00), but thinking that like so many other election night events it wouldn't start anywhere near that time I was under the false impression that I would be there early. Nope. When I got there, the line already stretched around two sides of the block. Read more…

I just got home from DC and I'm going to make this quick because at this point I haven't slept in almost 40 hours, and were it not for the energy derived from my seething rage, I would have collapsed.

I'm sure many of you either watched the sham theatrical event proceedings or were following them as they were being live-blogged on TalkLeft and elsewhere, so I'll spare you the blow by blow and just give you some of my initial notes/observations. Read more…

a.k.a. the RBC meeting in DC tomorrow morning. I just got my ticket and am wondering if anyone else from the NYC area is attending. If you are, what are your travel plans? I'm taking the train and in order to get there in time to pick up my credentials, it looks as though I'll be boarding a train leaving Penn Station at 3:00 am.

Which means I'll be spending time at Penn Station on a Friday night at around 2:30 in the morning. Which oughta be only slightly less odious than the Port Authority at the same time. Perhaps it will prepare me for the considerably more odious Donna Brazile just a few hours later.

Anyway, anyone else making the trek? Let me know if you'd possibly like to meet up and travel together.
